Halfords Toyota Tyrol Silver Metallic Scratch & Chip Repair Kit

The touch up paint is the ideal way to repair small unsightly scratches and stone chips on your car's bodywork, blending them in with an exact colour match.

Simply use the special glass fibre prep tool to remove any loose/flaking paint and all rust from the chip or scratch. Then apply the high build primer filler using the precision nib applicator or brush into the prepared rust free chips and scratches, building up the thickness in stages (leaving 10-20 minutes between coats) leaving 24 hours to harden.

Lightly rub down using abrasive side of special tool to achieve smooth finish, then apply your colour match using the precision nib applicator or brush to the prepared and primed chips or scratches. Build up the colour in stages by leaving 10-20 minutes between each coat*. Leave the paint for 24 hours to harden then simply buff the surface using fabric side of special tool to blend in the repair.

Overview

Good colour match not the correct tools to apply and finish repair
The preparation tool supplied is a solid pole rather than a glass fibre brush, this supplied stick is pretty useless for preparing the damaged area. Interestingly, the online video suggests that a brush is supplied in the kit rather than the solid stick. actually supplied.
The application tools supplied are generally going to deliver too much paint for most small areas. I found dabbing the paint on with the point of a cocktail stick much more accurate.
I needed to buy more 1200 wet and dry paper and Farecla G3 Scratch removal paste to complete the repair as the sanding and buffing tools supplied were ineffective.
